Chapter 85: Guan Yu Battles Zhang Liao (Part 1)

  Yuan Shao's camp had not come out for half a day, and Liu Bei was getting tired from watching on the city wall. He sat in the tower to rest, and then called Zhang Fei back again. While eating and drinking, they discussed the battle situation earlier. Just as they were talking excitedly, suddenly it was said that someone from Yuan's camp had come to respond to the challenge. Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

  When he heard that it was a tall and red-faced man in a green robe, carrying an unusually long knife, his eyes twitched involuntarily. He knew that this person was probably Guan Yu.

  This must be a different Three Kingdoms, or did I wear the wrong clothes and end up in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Guan Yu's weapon is actually the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and he really participated in this battle?

  It's all messed up, this space-time is no longer the one I'm familiar with.

  "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry." Zhang Xiu saw Liu Bei's expression and thought he was worried about him. He hastily patted his chest and said: "Please sit down for a moment, Your Majesty. I will go and behead this ignorant man and present his head to you."

  Liu Bian coughed and said: "Zi Zhang, the world is vast, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. We must not underestimate our enemies. Don't you know that a proud army will surely be defeated?"

  Zhang Xiu listened and hastily collected his smile: "Your minister humbly accepts your imperial teachings, I will definitely be careful in my response."

  "Alright, Feng Xian, you go and help Zizhang in his battle array."

  Lü Bu listened and raised an eyebrow at Zhang Liao, responding loudly: "Yes."

  Zhang Liao and Lü Bu left the city, but Liu Bei was still not at ease. He hastily rushed to the top of the city wall, supporting himself against the wall as he gazed out into the distance. Guan Yu's reputation was too great, and even with Lü Bu's cavalry, he couldn't completely let his guard down. If Zhang Liao were to make a mistake and get struck down by Guan Yu, that would be a huge loss.

  Liu Bian stood on the city wall, intently gazing at the battlefield outside the city. Zhang Liao and Huangfu Song, who were attending him, couldn't help but feel a thousand emotions. The Emperor, with his majesty of a million chariots, was so concerned about Zhang Yun's safety, how could it not move people?

  ……

  Zhang Liao arrived at the front, took a look at Guan Yu opposite him, and couldn't help but take a cold breath, secretly grateful that he didn't die in front of Liu Bei. Guan Yu's physique was extraordinary, just one glance told you he wasn't an ordinary person. If it were three months ago, Zhang Liao might not have had the courage to fight Guan Yu. Upon careful consideration, perhaps only Lü Bu could be his match.

  Lü Bu was also shocked, he urged Red Hare to hurry to Zhang Chao's side and said in a low voice: "Zi Zhang, do not underestimate the enemy, this person is likely to have already understood his fate."

  "Really?" Zhang Xiang was shocked: "How did you know?"

  Lü Bu's cheek twitched twice: "Don't ask me how I know, I definitely won't harm you. If you're going to die, it'll be at my hands, not someone else's sword. Listen to me, this man is tall and has long arms, and he uses such a big knife, his strength is far beyond Pan Feng's. Don't clash with him head-on, use his weakness of being unskilled in horse riding to entangle him in battle. For you, this is also a good opportunity to break through."

  Zhang Hua nodded, he was also a local man, skilled in riding, and at a glance, he saw that Guan Yu's coordination with his war horse was not very tacit. He also believed in Lü Bu's judgment, if Lü Bu said this person had already understood his fate, then he couldn't be careless for a moment, or his reputation would be ruined, disappointing the emperor's trust and cultivation.

  Zhang Xiu raised his spirit to twelve points, urged the horse forward, and stopped at a distance of more than twenty steps from Guan Yu. He shouted loudly: "The Right General of the Han Dynasty's Imperial Guard, Zhang Xiu, is here! Who are you leading? Report your name!"

  Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue sword in one hand and grasped the reins of his horse, Jueying, with the other. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he gazed at Zhang Liao in the distance, not deigning to give him a second glance. Originally, Guan Yu was already a head taller than Zhang Liao, and Jueying was also a tall and majestic horse. With the combined height of horse and rider, Zhang Liao could barely reach Guan Yu's shoulder. This gave Guan Yu a sense of superiority, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. His appreciation for Cao Cao, who had given him the horse as a gift, increased by several degrees.

  "What does a mere husband like you know about my title?" Guan Yu snorted, lightly kicked his horse's belly, and suddenly galloped forward. Guan Yu shouted loudly, holding his knife in one hand, and rushed towards Zhang Xiu.

  Zhang Huo was enraged and without saying another word, he urged his warhorse forward, charging towards Guan Yu with his spear at the ready.

  A distance of over twenty paces was actually very short, and even before the horses had gained speed, they were already crossing each other. Jueying was fast, but not in sync with Guan Yu, whereas Zhang Xiu's horse had already been well-trained to be in perfect harmony with him. As soon as Zhang Xiu moved his body, the warhorse knew what to do and reacted naturally. Within a distance of over ten paces, the warhorses were already galloping at full speed.

  Zhang Heng let out a loud shout, twisted his spear and stabbed, a faint aura extending from the spearhead more than five inches, rushing towards Guan Yu's face.

  Guan Yu was shocked and never dared to underestimate Zhang Liao again. His eyes widened, he let out a loud shout, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade flashed with a shrill whistle as it chopped towards Zhang Liao's shoulder and the Halberd of the Tyrant King. At the same time, he dodged to the side.

  Zhang Hua was two zhang away from Guan Yu, and it seemed as if he saw a phoenix bird flapping its huge wings, stirring up a fierce gust of wind that rushed forward, making it hard to breathe. Even though he had been warned by Lü Bu and was prepared, his heart still skipped a beat. In a daze, it seemed as if he had returned to the scene of his confrontation with Lü Bu in Luoyang three months ago.

  If it weren't for the days since then, he had almost gotten used to facing strong enemies every day with Lü Bu, and he was almost overwhelmed by Guan Yu's momentum. At this moment, he not only didn't fear, but instead surged up an even stronger will to fight, a long whistle, pouring all his will into the Halberd of the Conqueror, stabbing out with full force.

  The Green Dragon Crescent Blade began to quiver and hum, as if a dragon were singing. The blade's killing energy surged up to a foot high, striking Guan Yu in the face before he could react.

  Guan Yu subconsciously twisted his body and turned his head. The Halberd of the Overlord pierced three inches in front of Guan Yu's face, and the gust of wind made Guan Yu's facial skin ache. Guan Yu's must-get knife also became empty due to his movement, brushing along the buttocks of Zhang Xiu's horse, cutting off two snow-white horse tails, flying in the air.

  Two horses crossed each other without distinguishing victory or defeat.

  Zhang Liao galloped his horse over a hundred paces before slowly reining it in. He let out a sigh of relief, feeling grateful. Guan Yu's aura had exceeded his expectations; if not for Liu Bei's warning and Lü Bu's reminder and guidance, he might have been slain by Guan Yu due to underestimating him. Now, having tested Guan Yu's limits, he knew he had no advantage whatsoever, yet felt not a shred of fear.

  Because he knew that Guan Yu's realm was high, but not higher than Lü Bu. The Guan Yu in front of him was not a threat, but an opportunity, an opportunity for him to break through his limits.

  Zhang Hua's battle intent was overflowing, he turned his horse's head and galloped wildly.

  In the distance, Guan Yu also turned his horse's head, missing a strike and almost getting stabbed in the face by Zhang Liao, which made him furious. His originally reddish face turned even redder like blood. He kicked the belly of his horse, Red Hare, and let out a low roar: "You villain, come and meet your death!"

  Two war horses with four hooves off the ground, like two flashes of lightning, quickly approached.
